Clinical and functional characterization of a novel heterozygous mutation c.473T > A (p.Leu158Gln) in the SERPINC1 gene causing recurrent arteriovenous thrombophilia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hereditary antithrombin deficiency (HATD) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the SERPINC1 gene characterized with venous thromboembolism and/or arterial thrombotic events. We identified a proband with recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis at multiple anatomical sites and subsequently performed comprehensive thrombophilia screening and genetic analysis within the kindred.

Methods

Mutation screening of the SERPINC1 gene in the proband and family members was conducted using Sanger sequencing. Wild-type and mutant (c.473T > A; p.Leu158Gln) SERPINC1 expression plasmids were constructed and transiently transfected into HEK293T cells. Functional consequences of the variant were assessed through immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assa
